We’re a small group of fun, highly-motivated Internet geeks. We work hard, and play harder. We’re looking for a few more people who share our passion to join us. Salaries are competitive and benefits include health and dental. You’ll have a chance to work with a rapidly growing start-up in the very early stages. Excitement level is high, and coffee cups are full. We also enjoy kick-ass music while we work.

We’re looking for rockstar code ninjas to help us continue to build and improve iList. You’ll work on iList, as well as a slew of iList’s little helpers. You’ll need to be able to work in a team environment to rapidly make changes to existing features as well as build out new features.

Requirements

  • BS in Computer Science, related degree, or equivalent experience
  • 3-5 years working with Ruby
  • 1-2 years working with Ruby on Rails
  • Experience with REST APIs
  • Rigorous testing with rSpec
  • MySQL
  • Lucene/Solr
  • Capistrano
  • Competent with Linux (don’t need to know everything but you shouldn’t need training wheels)

  • Experience developing social network-specific applications
  • Experience working with social network data portability protocols (ex. Facebook Connect, MySpace Data Availability, OpenSocial, etc.)
